Elena Popina, Sarah Ponczek and Vildana Hajric Bloomberg News Published 5:36 PM EST Dec 21, 2018 If you asked investors a few months ago what they’d remember about this year’s market, it would’ve been the storm of volatility that laid everything low in February.

Vildana Hajric Bloomberg News Published 9:54 PM EDT Oct 24, 2018 The sell-off in U.S. stocks accelerated Wednesday, wiping out gains for the year in both the S&P 500 Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average, as mixed corporate earnings and weak housing data fueled anxiety that rising prices will crimp economic growth. Treasuries rallied for a second day on demand for haven assets. The S&P extended its October rout to 8.8 percent, making it the worst month since February 2009.
